"Northern Illinois is still my leader but they don't really lead by much," says Anderson, from Steinmetz Academic Center. "They have good players that play well together. And I like their offensive system. The coaching staff there is great especially coach (Jim) Novak…he's a cool guy.

"They are recruiting me as QB/HB and I really prefer playing QB. But what position I want to play will have no bearing on my decision really.

"Illinois has a much better balanced offense than Northern Illinois, and some good coaches over there too. I like how they get the ball out to different people and they don't just go to one guy. The plays they run depend on certain situations as well. I also like the facilities there--they are really nice for their players. They are recruiting me as an ATH.

"Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa have made no indication of making me an offer."
